Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

When I first had roasted chestnuts here, my reaction was "meh" at best...the texture is pasty and the flavor is not terribly inspiring. That was in October 2012.

By November 2013, I had developed a taste for them. They're still pasty, but that sweet flavor...mmmmm!

Tonight, we had our first-ever home-roasted chestnuts!

My darling pyromaniacs clustered around the fire to make sure we had a good blaze going, and then I placed the pan into the flames, shaking it periodically.

And then, snack was ready!

Love,

Lunch last week

The fish was outstanding,
and the pork (although looking toasted) was also very tasty!
